1 kilopost, like 1 kilobyte
OK, so this is my kilopost, a grand total of 0x400 posts, or 2^10 posts (so I can no longer count all the posts I've made to WOS forums on my fingers, I have to carry to my right little toe). That's 1024 if you still use the rather inconvenient base 10. No, I won't call it one kibipost :-)
Just thought you might like to know that. Roll on 2^11 posts.

kilo is a 1000, no?
A Kilo and a Kilobyte are two different things, I'm sure some one will have the time to explain why, but not me I'm afraid.

a kilogram is 1000 grams yes.
a denary kilo is 1000
but in binary a kilosomething is 1024. because it's powers of 2, not powers of 10
get the fuck out of town.
i did not know that.
you are certainly one clever guy.
i think i'm gonig to post that on another forum i go to as a piece of hot shit trivia. i'll make sure i give you props though.
this is why i like wos, im constantly learning.
Now, IMHO, which I appreciate is worth nothing, there was no confusion in the first place. People said their machine had 64KB of address space and we all ('cept mile, apparently ;-) ) knew it meant 65536 bytes. It's not like you can buy a 64000 byte RAM chip anyway.
NOW when someone says "100 megabytes" we have to ask "do you mean proper megabytes, like 2^20 that people now want to call mibibytes, or stupid-in-a-computing-context Mega-bytes as in 10^6?" Duh. :evil:
:wink:
According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petabyte) it then goes onto:
Exabyte
Zettabyte
Yottabyte
the computer that runs the internet might need it!
I really do like your sense of humour Mile. :lol:
Actually the computer that has been running the internet has not changed since 1969 and it's still going strong even though it only has only 50 bytes of memory, which in 1969 was more than adiquate. You dont need allot of power of storeage capacity to process simple HTTP:// requests. At its time it was billed as the computer of the future, they claimed that by the year 2000 every one would have one.Snigger chortle chortle, all complete bullsh!t of course!!

if anyone tries to tell me I'm wrong and to start using made up words then I'd just ignore them anyway

i think you are a very intelligent guy. don't let anyone tell you different.
and scottie thanks for the compliment, you are so very kind and a valuable addition to world of spectrum.
